Not many CAD companies today can say they're 40 years old. Congratulations to ITC member, Carlson Software!

In 1983, a land surveyor and engineer named Bruce Carlson took his smarts, ingenuity, and can-do approach to begin creating land surveying software. Carlson Software was born and now delivers CAD software for the land surveying, civil engineering, GIS, construction, and mining industries. For more details about their history, see the Carlson news.

Carlson Software has been a member of the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium since 2007. To find out how Carlson Software and the ITC work together, see the success story. To find out more about IntelliCAD's .dwg technology, go here.
